DESCRIPTION:
LIVE in concert Greg Herriges at Bo Diddley's St Cloud MN. Greg Herriges invites us to visualize—or, better yet, listen to—"whirled music," his own blend of international, styles, played on guitar, bouzouki, and kalimba. Greg's influences come from all over: "Bollywood movies, Japan, Persia, India, Turkey, and surfer rock" (The Voice Magazine). The Minneapolis Star Tribune calls his music "folk fusion at its best—a mix of the traditional and the rockin,' the familiar and the exotic."
"What do you call someone who can sit down and play within so many cultures, time signatures, styles, and scales? A 'musician's musician's musician,' perhaps?" -Wildfruitfolkmusk.com
"John McLaughlin's Shakti meets Michael Hedges in a Bollywood soundtrack to a journey down the Silk Road."
December 2012 performance for the Granite City Folk Society www.granitecityfolk.org
